Detectives are now investigating the death of a man at a Far East Side house as a homicide.

Columbus police were called to 893 Critchfield Rd. shortly before 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
Eduardo J. Arcia, 53, was in cardiac arrest and taken to Mount Carmel East hospital, where he died
at 3:08 a.m.

Arcia and another man had had an altercation before the 911 call, detectives said. Two people
were questioned but not arrested.

Early this morning, detectives said Arcia’s death was a homicide but did not give details
about how he died.

Franklin County Coroner Jan Gorniak said today that she has not yet ruled on the cause or
manner of death for Arcia. Both are pending.
